Shortly after the news of Grimmie's death broke, Blake Shelton wrote on social media that he was "disgusted and heartbroken," while her former coach and mentor on the show, Adam Levine, admitted he was "shocked and confused" about the incident.

Levine later opened up even more in the following media statement obtained byUs Weekly: "[My wife Behati Prinsloo] and I are absolutely devastated and heartbroken by Christina Grimmie's tragic death. Our hearts go out to her family. Christina was a natural, a gifted talent that comes along so rarely."

"She was taken from us too soon," the Maroon 5 frontman continued. "This is yet another senseless act of extreme violence. I am left stunned and confused how these things can conceivably continue to happen in our world."

Grimmie placed third on The Voice's sixth season, during which Levine, Shelton, Usher and Shakira served as the four coaches.
